Three foot, one inch, 22 pound bunny!

[RICHARD]

Rabbit just keeps growing

A man stunned onlookers at a agriculture fair in Berlin when he brought his 22lb rabbit along.

Passers-by thought Hans Wagner had a large cuddly toy with him and were shocked when they discovered the 3ft 1in rabbit was real.

Herman is one of a breed called the German Giant reports the Daily Mail.

A spokesman from the German Rabbit Breeders' Association said: "They are good-natured, reliable and calm. They are, however, because of their size, not very suitable for children."

Most German Giants reach between 16lb and 18lb. But Herman - who eats more than 1lb of food a day - has just kept growing.

He lives in a specially-constructed hutch made of solid oak.

He's only 22 lbs? He looks like he'd weigh much more!

I've seen bunnies that big before, but never in real life. It's so ... wierd. I always think of bunnies to be small.

:eek: Solid oak???? I would think they'd make it out of steel. That bunny is HUGE!!!

I wonder if Miss Hoppy would like a manly rabbit like Herman? Lots of "bunny love" there!! ;)

[Almita]

Lol i just was reading this thread and on the news they were showing the largest bunny I was all like whoa!

[slick]

:eek: :eek: Whoa....what's Mz. Hoppy got to say about that??????

Miss Hoppy doubts the veracity of these images, as she is a discerning bunny, but says they look like healthy bunnies, whatever their actual size is.

It's a photographer's trick...you take the pic looking up and the subject you want to look bigger, closer to the lens!

If you keep that in mind you can see that both pictures were taken that way. ;)

Like the photo of a street - The street is the same wide all along the length, but it looks like it narrows in the distance.

Miss Hoppy and I are well aware of photographers' tricks, and of perspective - as my BFA is in Illustration, and required an understanding of technical illustration, I could probably bore you to tears on the subject.

But as this page (http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/animals/newsid_2670000/2670315.stm) says, the world's largest rabbit is 11.5 k, that's about 25 pounds, so the claims of the one saying he's 88 pounds is just exaggerating!

[KYS]

That is one BIG bunny! :eek:

[poofy]

What ever their size they sure are beautys..lol..lol..big feet..lol..lol.. :)

[zippy-kat]

Valid or not, they sure are cuties! :D

Perhaps, Piper's trying to top them? He's 13lbs and taller than K'Cee (and she's a big cat)! :eek:

[Roxyluvsme13]

Hahaha..I used to have a 20 pound bunny. Seriously.

[IRescue452]

In the Chilton Humane Society when I was looking for a dog, before Autumn, they had several giant rabbits there. They probably weighed close to 25 pounds.

[shais_mom]

Real or not.
whoa!
I would love a bunny but I always say with my crew I would need one of those giant ones but that's a bit big!;)

[mruffruff]

Herman is real. He made the national news on either CBS or NBC this weekend.

[moosmom]

Nope, it's not a trick. I saw Herman on tv last night on Entertainment Tonight (ET). He IS real and weighs 19 lbs and is still growing. His ears are 10 inches long. They put him up next to a regular bunny and he looks like a small dog!!!

Definitely no trick photography there!

[Karen]

Never had an issue with the 19-pound guy, it's the 88-pound claim we (Hoppy and I) didn't believe!

[Anita Cholaine]

:eek: I don't know if it's real or not, but he's a really handsome man, for sure! :D I love his big feet....

[Pawsitive Thinking]

That is one lapful of bunny!

[cyber-sibes]

Now that's an armload of bunny! :eek:
Look at those cute cute footsers! Can I cuddle him, please?

[vinjashira]

it's real :D
I just saw the news on tv
He is the Berlin's Champion

[buttercup132]

:( I wish I saw it on t.v is there any way to find the recording on the net?
